1. Renal and parathyroid function in psychiatric patients on lithium treatment
Sammanfattning : Aims. To investigate the prevalence and clinical implications of renal and parathyroid morbidity in lithium patients. Patients. Short-term lithium patients (n=162; average 6 treatment years) and long-term patients (n=142; average 19 treatment years) were studied cross-sectionally. LÄS MER
2. Aquaporins - Novel approaches to old problems
Sammanfattning : As all life on this planet evolves around water, it is important for our bodies to be able to regulate it. This may be done passively, but just like with water in the ocean, if we were to rely solely on passive transport (such as evaporation), the flow of water would be too slow for biological functions to uphold the homeostasis that is so important for us to survive.

3. Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant
Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow water to pass in and out of the cell. Since all life depend on water, their function is vital for any type of organism. LÄS MER
4. The developing rat kidney : the dopamine system and related serine/threonine kinases and phosphatases
Sammanfattning : The kidney originates from the fusion and conversion of two tissues: the metanephric mesenchyme and the ureter epithelium, an evagination from the Wolffian duct. Although a number of candidate molecules have been shown to be of importance for the differentiation of the embryonic kidney, many of the signalling pathway leading to this development are still obscure.

5. Primary structure, expression and function of laminin [alpha]4
Sammanfattning : Basement membranes (BMs) are thin extracellular sheet-like structures that compartmentalize tissues. They are found beneath epithelia and endothelia, and surrounding individual cells, such as muscle fibers, neurons and adipocytes. Laminins, type IV collagens, perlecan and nidogens are some of the main components of mature basement membranes. LÄS MER
